A. London despatch says: The
irony of fate ordained Viet the day
named for the coronation of King
Edward should be an ideal one, even
among the delights of an English
June. The.skieswere clear, and the
heat of the, sun was tempered hy .a •
eool, refreshing breeze. 'The weath-
er gods, who are held .particularly
responsible for the King's Undoing,
seemed beat epon emphasizing the
nation's disappointment. The mil-
lions who expected to acclaim a.new-
eroweed monarch went instead to
church to Pray that Ws life be 'mix-
ed; or made half-hearted holiday,
wandering through the streets where
his triumnhai propeseion would ham
pawed. 7rhey were esen inclinot to
be joyful in the light of the rayof
hope which . came fromethe palace
where the Royal sufferer ley.
The first (ante balletinta sent out.
by the physicians on Thursday were
distinctly encouyaging. Ite was an-
riounced at last that the patient's
enspevature was normal, and this
was the besI, possible news in a, case
of this nature, .A.1.1 the other symp-
toms wore also favorable.
NATION dfOOK HEART AGAIN..
It :was therefore net sin -prising
that the nation took heart again,
and was ahuost inclined to indulge
in premature rejoicing. The throngs
which still filled the streets sane;
and were gay. The Xing will
live," was heard on all sides, and
they begna to talk of a coronation
in August or September.
Then the evening- belleSin Was
posted at 13. o'clock on the palace
gates, and in all the post offices. It
cencluded with the disqpiating sen-
tence, Which checked the hopefulness:
"There has been scane return of pain
in the wound."
These words would usually have
eeriosa significaneo in a situation
likesthat of the Xing, and the doe -
"tors ,Would have hardly employed
them unless they desired th'enateraS
conclusion to, be drawn from them.
'Isreeh -pain implies fresh inflamma-
tion... Renewed inflammation is else -

might be :decided to .reopen the
wound as a last resort. This has
been done in many cases, and it is
• sometimes successful where the pa-
tient is' strong and in full yig-or of
life. in the King's case it would
be a SS 'iperate eedient.'
.A writer in the Daily Mail, com-
inentieg upoa the return of pain
Ln the King's wound, suggests that
it is due to the natural contraction
of the wound and the abscess cavity,
'causing pressure on the drainage'
tubes. It is therefore, he says,' • a
healthy, natural sign. He believes
therc has been no appreciable in-
crease of temperature with the se -
turn of pain. The writer soya the
King has bedpermitted to smoke.
He takes beef tea and milk.
NOT A COMPLETE OPERATION.
It la not generally -understood by
readers of the semi-official account
of the operation that it was neces-
sary to remove a section of . the
bowel itself, sand that even if the
King rallies from the present: crisis
another serious operation will be,
neceseary as. soon as he is able to
hear it.

phase of the peril.
From the Usual eflacts following

danger is s of fresh com-
plications, Which are more

WHAT •THE LANCET SAYS.
So faa as it is possible Yet to. say
imythieg definite, the Kingds prosa
pectsa are distinctly favorable.

the risht procedure has been follow-
ed, ilea that no symptoms of malig-
nant 'disease are present, have much
reaseured the public. At noon to-
day the Wound is comfortable, and
the general condition less anxious/.
• THE XING'S TEASPEldiATUREs
-Lord ,Lister, one •of the physicians
in attendance, remarked to a friend
to -day: • "
"The operation was the most seri-
ous tea which a man of the King's
age and condition could be. subject-
ed."
They took what is described as
one desperate chance. :Not to oper-
ate meant, .certain death within -for-
ty-eight' hours, and there remained
the possibility of prolonging, if not
saving, life by the radical use of the
knife. That possibility -they seized;
